I am completely guilty.
The entirety of this post is lifted willy-nilly from a post by my friend
Quest
However, it rang a strong chord in me and I have been drawn back to it several times.
Today I purchased the book it is from, and will begin reading it tonight.
I couldn't resist posting it in my journal.

Without further ado....

"Fucking is the same way as with everything else: what you thought you were doing was not what you were doing. What you thought you were doing was sucking and penetrating and kissing, holding, and ejaculating. What you were doing, though, was telling a story.

"First off, thing is, you got to know you got a story. Then you got to have to tell it. Knowing how to tell your story good is important, but the secret to good fucking is how well you can listen. Fucking only gets good when the two stories start being the same story --- the human-being sex story --- when the two bodies stop being two bodies and start being the big excruciating, the one heart beating.

"Most men, most sorry men, always tell the same hard-dick ejaculation story, and always got to be the one who leans hard onto. Most women, sorry women, tell this story --- which really isn't a story: You talk , I'll listen, tell me when you're done. They always end up being the one who gets leaned hard on. Doesn't work that way when you're fucking. Good fucking is bartering, wrestling, swapping tales back and forth, and telling lies till you get to the truth."

From the book "The Man who Fell in Love with the Moon," by Tom Spanbauer
